That's awesome. The vid in the comments is impressive aswell. I should get out my old stash of Lego and try making one myself. ^^

That's awesome, dude! My brother and I would always try and do that stuff when we were kids. We got it to shoot those little rubber arrows that the techniks kits had, but we never have spring-loading action!

Really cool, but more of a semi-automatic crossbow than an automatic gun. In the comments lower on the page there's a video of an automatic lego gun. Now that was impressive!

do you think that you could use bionicles to do the same thing?

All lego pieces can be connected so I'm sure you could use bionicle parts.

I was thinking the same thing, except it's not really semi-automatic at all. You have to re-cock the gun every time you fire. It's just a single-action crossbow. But it's made out of Legos, so it's very clearly the coolest thing since sliced bread.

Now that's ridiculous. But i guess they would do anything to keep the heat off of our domestic terrorists that live in the white house.
Cool lego gun.

That's actually the London, Heathrow airport. US airlines are currently too busy finding extra things to charge passengers for at the moment. I can actually get through with a tube of chapstick these days.
